Current Issues

Alert us immediately if you receive an IRS collection notice or an IRS bill for taxes due in the mail. The IRS will file liens and serve levies to collect what it is owed.

If the IRS determines you owe taxes after you file your tax return, they will send a bill for the amount owed, including penalties and interest. If you ignore the IRS, or forget to pay, the IRS will take action to collect your debt. The collection process is complicated, filled with the potential for missteps and missed critical deadlines. The IRS has 10 years to collect a tax debt. This is not a problem that will “go away”. If you have trouble paying the IRS, you can apply for an Installment Agreement or payment plan. There are other options, like requesting an Offer in Compromise asking to settle unpaid taxes for less than the full amount you owe.
